Seriously!
I kept hearing people talking about Spinach Smoothies (on Twitter),
so I had to try it for myself.
My kids are picky, really picky. They don't like most vegetables.
And this is an easy way to get leafy greens
and lots of fruits into their diet.
And you can't taste the spinach-- at all!

Want to make a green smoothie? Try blending the spinach with an apples and a banana.
The variations are endless, and it's hard to go wrong with most combinations of fruit.

A little tip: to keep your smoothie more purple rather than a yucky brown be sure to include darker fruits (I used blackberries and blueberries).

This sounds delicious. Forget my kids, I'm going to make one for me.
Wow! If you say you can't taste the spinach, I think I'm going to have to make one of those for myself - I'm a huge smoothie fan, and if I can sneak greens in, then woo hoo!
